Do you believe in fortune telling? A miracle? Or better, your own prediction created from scads of observations?

I'll go with the last, since my summed up clues came to life with 'the unknown' falling into one of the loopholes he/she accidentally left.

The game wasn't as fair as it should have been, but it became one the moment that picture was taken this morning, by the mysterious person's shadow I saw after the 'flash and click' sound of the camera.

I knew immediately that another scandal was going to come up, but my guess wasn't definite because some seconds later, my classmates made their way into the classroom and thereafter, conducted some series of exclamations after they met only Zirachi and I in the class.

I couldn't think straight, my mind was so preoccupied on how 'the unknown' or whoever took the shot, was so careless as to let he/she's shadow come into view.

Maybe it was done deliberately?

Or a mistake?

My gaze irregularly at intervals, would stare at Zirachi wondering how she might not have any connection with 'the unknown', as I thought back to her desperate pleadings yesterday at the infirmary.

What if she also had no idea on why and how all this was happening, what if she was just a mere pawn in all this and most importantly, what if she was actually being sincere yesterday ?

I was conflicted on different what if's, and the likelihood of everything going on now being staged or done, by this anonymous mastermind with a username of, 'the unknown'.

However, after third period was disrupted with the outrageously edited posted picture, I knew my hunch was correct and also Zirachi might be honest.

Because even if she was actually working for 'the unknown', there was no logical reason as to why she'd tarnish her already bad name either for attention or money.

Money could be the reason she was doing all this, but remembering how she rejected the amount I offered to her on a platter of gold, I thought against her assumed need for money.

I also noticed that the new uploaded picture, had a hand in readjusting her already alone behaviour to a more sulky one, as her head was on her desk throughout third period.

She also didn't attend the combined class we had with the science and commercial students the next period, but instead, totally disappeared when everyone left for the class which was held in the assembly hall.

Talking of Idia, she was strange today and covered up in all black. A big black hoodie, a few inches above the knee length skirt which got the rest skin protected on a pair of long black socks.

I was a bit thrilled when she came into the classroom this morning immediately after Assembly was concluded, without her being clingy or following me around.

The only thing I received from her, was a hurried wave with a short broad smile which only stretched across her lips for five seconds to be exact. That was contrary to what a normal day Idia would have done, if she saw me on a morning.

All too suddenly, she was no where to be found after the automatic bell rang for break commencement.

I was supposed to be relieved that I could finally have a breath of fresh air without her invasion or presence, but for some odd reasons I wasn't a bit filled with delight.
